INTRODUCTION. 


This  book  is  not  so  much  an  experiment  as  it  is  the  result  of  an  experi- 
ment. About  three  years  since,  the  compiler,  hoping  to  aid  the  peoj^le  of 
his  pastoral  charge  in  their  singing,  selected  from  the  Assembly's  collec- 
tion some  three  hundred  and  fifty  of  the  Psalms  and  Hymns,  to  which  he 
proposed  to  confine  himself  in  the  services  of  the  Church,  both  i^ublic  and 
social.  At  the  same  time,  after  an  extensive  collation  of  Church-tunes,  he 
selected  about  one  hundred  and  thirty,  and  designated  them  to  these 
hymns,  taking  the  Presbyterian  Psalmodist  as  a  general  guide.  The 
arrangement  was  submitted  to  a  revision  at  the  hands  of  some  of  the  best 
critics,  and  was  adopted  by  the  Church  session.  The  tunes  were  made 
accessible  to  the  choir,  and  the  plan  was  inaugurated — which  has  been  since 
pursued — of  always  singing  the  hymn  announced  to  the  tune  chosen  for  it. 
So  satisfactory  has  the  plan  proved,  so  much  has  it  contributed  toward  the 
general  singing  of  the  congregation,  that  the  compiler  has  been  encouraged 
to  revise  the  arrangement,  amending  and  enlarging  it  as  experience  has 
taught  was  desirable,  and  now  to  publish  it.  He  hopes  for  still  more 
encouraging  results  when  the  families  of  his  congregation  shall  have  the 
music  of  the  Church  in  their  homes  and  can  teach  their  children  to  use  it, 
when  the  lecture-room  shall  be  supplied  and  the  pews  of  the  church  per- 
manently furnished  with  the  book  containing  it,  and  when  the  same 
hymns  shall  have  been  so  long  and  so  often  sung  to  the  same  tunes  that 
both  have  become  familiar,  and  that  in  each  case  the  hymn  and  its  tune 
have  become  so  firmly  associated  that  the  one  shall  suggest  the  other. 

If  any  other  congregations  should  be  disposed  to  use  this  selection,  and 
should  receive  a  like  benefit,  it  will  be  a  matter  of  rejoicing  to  have  thus 
contributed  to  the  advancement  of  the  cause  of  Sacred  Praise. 

ADVANTAGES. 

Some  of  the  advantages  of  this  arrangement  have  been  intimated.  Many 
persons  can  read  simjile  Church-music ;  and  to  such  it  will  often  be  of  use 
to  have  the  music  before  their  eyes  in  connection  with  the  hymn  sung. 
But,  further  than  this,  it  is  obviously  a  great  advantage  for  congregational 
singing  to  be  limited  to  a  fixed  number  of  suitable  tunes,  to  have  these 
carefully  adapted  to  the  hymns  vised,  and  then  always  to  sing  the  same 
words  to  the  same  music.  The  majority  of  tunes  used  in  our  churches  are 
unsuited  to  congregational  singing.  The  change  of  one  set  of  tunes  for 
another,  so  often  made  by  the  introduction  of  new  tune-books  or  by  a 
change  of  musical  leaders,  prevents  the  congregation  from  becoming 
familiar  with  any.  Professional  leaders  often  violate  sacred  associations  in 
their  selection  of  tunes  for  hymns ;  their  selections,  being  often  hastily  made, 
ai'e  seldom  judiciously  made;  and  the  singing  of  the  same  hymn  to  various 

3 


4  INTRODUCTION. 

tunes  prevents  any  association  being  formed  between  tunes  and  words. 
These  difficulties  are  obviated  by  the  arrangement  here  adopted,  when  the 
arrangement  is  wisely  executed. 

This  arrangement,  too,  is  equally  well  suited  to  any  sort  of  leading, 
whether  that  by  a  precentor,  a  choir,  or  a  choir  and  organ. 

A  properly-constituted  choir  will  not  object  to  singing  familiar  congrega- 
tional tunes  thus  selected  for  them,  provided  the  pastor  does  not,  by  his 
choice  of  hymns,  cause  the  same  tunes  to  be  sung  too  frequently.  In 
order,  however,  that  a  choir  have  occasion  to  meet  for  weekly  practice, 
and  in  order,  too,  that  a  place  be  found  for  that  species  of  song  designed 
to  be  impressive  on  the  heart  of  the  worshipper  rather  than  directly  crpress- 
ive  of  his  devout  feelings,  it  seems  desirable  that  the  choir  be  invited  to 
open  each  Sabbath  service  with  a  suitable  cho  jr-piece  of  their  own  selection, 
to  which  the  congregation  may  devoutly  listen. 

THE  HYMNS. 

In  selecting  the  Psalms  and  Hymns  here  found,  reference  was  had — 

First,  to  the  judgment  of  the  Church, — preference  being  given  to  those  most 
generally  esteemed. 

Secondly,  to  the  element  of  devotion, — preference  being  given  to  those  in 
which  this  element  enters  most  directly  and  largely. 

Thirdly,  to  poetic  merit, — believing  that  mere  prose  is  not  adapted  to  be  sung. 

Fourthly,  to  lyric  excellence, — believing  that  devotional  and  truly  poetic 
hymns  are  not  equally  well  adapted  to  be  sung. 

Fifthly,  to  the  exigencies  of  worship,  as  presented  by  tlie  great  congregation, 
the  social  meeting,  and  the  family,  and  as  affected  by  times  and  seasons 
and  occasions. 

Sixthly,  to  variety, — seeking  to  include  in  these  selections,  as  nearly  as 
possible,  every  distinct  phase  of  truth  or  experience  found  in  tlie  large 
collection. 

THE  TUNES. 

In  selecting  the  tunes  here  found,  reference  was  had — 

First,  again,  to  the  judgvient  of  the  Church, — preference  being  given  to  those 
pronounced  by  the  general  voice  to  be  effective. 

Secondly,  to  simplicity, — preference  being  given  to  tunes  witli  an  even  and 
easy  movement,  as  alone  suitable  for  congregational  singing.  As  much  as  pos- 
sible, repeats  and  fugues  and  complications  of  time  and  key,  and  the  various 
characteristics  of  what  may  be  denominated  choir-music,  have  been  avoided. 
At  the  same  time,  the  effort  has  been  made  to  keej^  from  that  extreme  of 
nude  simplicity  advocated  by  some,  in  which  melody  is  sacrificed  and 
tunes  lose  their  character  as  tunes. 

Thirdly,  to  sweetness, — preference  being  given  to  those  which  have  a  plea- 
sant melody,  such  as  tlie  ear  soon  catches  and  does  not  soon  forget. 

Fourthly,  to  dignity, — jireference  being  given  to  those  which,  with  a  simple 


INTRODUCTION.  6 

and  sweet  melody,  possess  also  a  grave,  sustaining  harmony.  Melody  by 
itself  soon  wears  out,  and,  while  it  lasts,  is  insufficient  for  the  serious  pur- 
poses of  worship. 

THE  ADAPTATIONS. 

In  designating  tunes  to  hymns,  reference  was  had  not  merely  to  con- 
ceived fitness,  but  to  associations  already  formed.  These,  when  known, 
have,  in  almost  every  instance,  been  sacredly  regarded. 

Instead  of  groujjing  hymns  on  the  same  subject  as  much  as  possible 
under  the  same  tune  or  tunes,  the  effort  has  been  made  to  scatter  them  as 
widely  as  possible.  The  reason  for  this  will  appear  from  an  illustration. 
If,  for  example,  the  hymns  of  a  missionary  character  had  been  grouped 
under  five  or  six  tunes,  it  would  have  occasioned  the  singing  of  these  same 
tunes  at  every  missionary  meeting,  and  they  could  be  sung  at  no  other 
time.  But  these  hymns  being  assigned  one  to  each  of  fifteen  or  twenty 
tunes,  which  tunes  have  also  assigned  to  them  hymns  suitable  for  other 
occasions,  a  variety  of  tunes  is  secured  for  the  missionary  meeting,  and 
tunes  which,  being  sung  at  other  times,  are  more  generally  practiced.  In 
this  way,  too,  most  of  the  tunes  sung  in  the  lecture-room,  through  the 
week,  will  be  sung  on  the  Sabbath,  in  the  great  congregation;  and  vice  versa. 
The  intention  is  to  bring  the  whole  collection  of  tunes  into  current  use, 
and  to  make  the  practice  had  in  one  sort  of  service  available  for  every 
other  sort  of  service. 

Of  course,  then,  the  hymns  are  not  arranged  at  all  with  reference  to  their 
subject-matter.  The  various  Indexes,  it  is  hoped,  will  obviate  all  difficulty 
on  this  score. 

THE  SMALL  NUMBER  OF  HYMNS. 

It  may  be  thought  by  some  that  the  number  of  hymns  in  this  book  is 
too  small  for  an  exclusive  and  continued  use  in  all  the  services  of  the 
Church.  There  are,  however,  strong  arguments  in  favor  of  a  limited 
number.  To  say  nothing  of  the  difficulty  of  finding  a  large  number  of 
unexceptionable  hymns  adapted  to  be  sung, — a  difficulty  more  serious  than 
many  suppose, — to  say  nothing  of  this,  a  smaller  number  is  preferable,  in 
view  of  a  congregation  becoming  familiar  with  the  several  hymns.  The 
great  majority  of  a  congregation  do  not  attend  more  than  two  services  a 
week,  of  any  kind.  Probably  they  unite  in  the  singing  of  seven  hymns  at 
these  services.  At  this  rate,  it  would  require  more  than  a  year  to  sing  once 
through  a  selection  of  four  hundred  hymns.  It  is  difficult  to  see  how  the 
mass  of  the  people  will  become  familiar  with  a  larger  number. 

Moreover,  it  is  desirable  that  hymns  become  associated  with  music.  On 
some  accounts,  indeed,  it  would  be  well  to  have  a  separate  tune  for  each 
hymn  sung.  But,  in  a  large  collection  of  hymns,  either  many  hymns  must 
be  assigned  to  each  tune,  in  which  case  none  of  them  will  become  strongly 
associated  with  the  tune,  or  else  a  large  number  of  tunes  must  be  furnished, 
in  which  case  a  congregation  will  never  be  able  fully  to  learn  them.     The 


6  INTRODUCTION. 

Episcopal  collection  contains  only  about  four  hundred  pieces.  Perhaps 
few  pastors  use  more  than  that  number,  even  when  three  times  as  many 
are  atibrded  them. 

This  book  embraces,  in  round  numbers,  five  hundred  hymns  and  one 
hundred  and  fifty  tunes.  It  would  have  been  easy  to  enlarge  or  diminish 
the  number  of  either  hymns  or  tunes,  or  of  both.  The  chief  reason  for 
fixing  vipon  these  numbers  was  the  belief  that  thus  the  various  requisites 
for  congregational  singing  were  most  fully  met. 

DIRECTIONS  AND  GENERAL  REMARKS. 

It  will  be  understood,  then,  that  the  Psalms  or  Hymns  found  on  any 
page  are  intended  to  be  sung  to  the  tune  at  the  head  of  that  page;  and  it 
is  recommended  that  the  intention  be  carried  out  in  every  possible  case. 

The  Psalms  and  Hymns  in  the  body  of  the  book,  and  a  portion  of  those 
in  the  Supplement,  are  taken  from  the  Assembly's  collection.  That  the 
book  may  be  used  in  connection  with  that  collection, — neither  displacing  it, 
nor  patting  those  who  may  use  it  to  any  inconvenience, — the  original 
numbers  of  the  Psalms  and  Hymns  have  been  preserved.  Also,  in  every 
instance,  omissions  of  stanzas  have  been  expressly  stated  at  the  head  of  the 
hymn,  as  well  as  indicated  in  tlie  numbering  of  the  stanzas ;  so  that  if 
only  the  pastor  and  choir,  in  any  case,  should  use  the  book,  and  that  only 
at  times,  all  difficulty  Avill  be  obviated  by  announcing  the  Psalm  or  Hymn 
both  as  it  stands  in  this  book  and  in  the  original  collection. 

Where  the  book  is  used  exclusively,  as  in  the  lecture-room  or  family,  the 
hymns  in  the  Supplement  may  be  found  valuable.  Tunes  suitable  to  be 
sung  to  these  have  been  indicated. 

In  cases  where  a  pastor  may  not  wish  to  be  confined  to  the  selection  of 
hymns  here  made,  and  where  likewise  it  may  not  be  convenient  to  furnish 
the  lecture-room  with  the  book,  it  is  conceived  that  the  book  would  still 
be  of  much  service  in  promoting  congregational  singing,  if  only  the  choir 
were  supj^lied  with  it,  with  directions  that  whenever  a  hymn  contained  in 
this  selection  was  announced,  the  tune  here  designated  to  it  should  be 
sung. 

Most  of  the  tunes  in  this  book  arc  standard  and  familiar.  By  a  little 
care  on  the  part  of  tlie  pastor,  the  newer  tunes  may  be  so  introduced  as  to 
be  learned  and  become  iiimiliar,  without  serious  embarrassment. 

An  hour  of  the  Sabbath,  spent  by  families  in  singing  together  these 
hymns  and  tunes,  would  help  prepare  tlio  children  for  taking  jiart  in  the 
praises  of  the  solemn  assembly. 

Many  thanks  are  due  to  the  owners  of  copyright  music  who  have  liere 
permitted  its  use. 

In  conclusion,  while  dedicating  this  book  to  the  service  of  the  Great 
Head  of  tlie  ('hurch,  tlie  comiiiU^r  lias  in  special  remembrance  his  own  con- 
gregation, for  whose  sake  particularly  it  has  been  prepared.

By  faith  and  love  in  every  breast ;

The  joys  that  cannot  be  express'd.

Make  our  enlarged  souls  possess 
And  learn  the  licight,  and  breadth,  and

Of  thine  unmeasurable  grace.

Be  everlasting  honors  done. 
By  all  the  church,  through  Christ  his  Son.

To  tliat  our  longing  souls  aspire. 
With  ardent  love  and  strong  desire. 

2.  In  thy  blest  kingdom  we  shall  be 
From  every  mortal  trouble  free  ; 

No  groans  shall  mingle  with  the  songs 
Which  warble  from  immortal  tongues. 

3.  No  rude  alarms  of  raging  foes. 
No  cares  to  break  the  long  repose, 
No  midnight  shade,  no  clouded  sun. 
But  sacred,  high,  eternal  noon.

Dawn  on  this  world  of  woe  and  sin  : 
Fain  would  we  leave  this  weary  road, 
And  sleep  in  death,  and  rest  in  God. 

Doxology. 

Praise  God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow; 
Praise  him,  all  creatures  here  below ; 
Praise  him  above,  ye  heavenly  host ; 
Praise  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost.

The  house  of  God  not  made  with  hands, 
A  great  High  Priest  our  nature  wears. 
The  Advocate  of  saints  appears. 

3.  Though  now  ascended  np  on  high. 
He  bends  on  earth  a  brother's  eye ; 
Partaker  of  the  human  name, 
He  knows  the  frailty  of  our  frame. 

5.  In  every  pang  that  rends  the  heart, 
The  man  of  sorrows  had  a  part ; 
He  sympathizes  in  our  grief. 
And  to  the  sutfcrer  sends  relief. 

G.  With  boldness,  therefore,  at  the  throne, 
Let  us  make  all  our  sorrows  known  ; 
And  ask  the  aids  of  heavenly  power, 
To  help  us  in  the  evil  hour.

And  make  him  to  the  end  endure. 

2.  Gird  him  with  all-sufficient  grace, 
Direct  his  feet  in  paths  of  peace : 
Thy  truth  and  faithfulness  fulfil, 
And  help  him  to  obey  thy  will. 


3.  Before  him  thy  protection  send, 
0  love  him,  save  him  to  the  end: 
Nor  let  him,  as  thy  pilgrim  rove, 
Without  the  convoy  of  tliy  love. 

4.  Enlarge,  inflame,  and  fill  his  heart ; 
In  him  thy  mighty  jjower  exert ; 
That  thousands  yet  unborn  may  praise 
The  wonders  of  redeeming  grace.

2.  Speak  thou,  and  from  the  haughtiest

Shall  floods  of  pioxts  sorrow  rise , 
While  all  their  glowing  souls  are  borne. 
To  seek  that  grace  which  now  they  scorn,

Give  us  to  see  thy  church  arise ;

Apt  to  forget  his  glorious  face  ; 
And  to  refresh  our  minds.  He  gave 
These  kind  memorials  of  his  grace.

With  his  own  flesh  and  dying  blood; 
We  on  the  rich  ijrovision  feed. 
We  taste  the  wine,  and  bless  our  God.

And  earth  grow  less  in  our  esteem ; 
Christ  and  his  love  fill  every  thought, 
And  faith  and  hope  be  fix'd  on  Him.

And  make  us  know  and  choose  thy  way : 
Plant  holy  fear  in  every  heart. 
That  we  from  God  may  not  depart. 


3:  Lead  us  to  holiness — the  road 
That  we  must  take  to  dwell  with  God ; 
Lead  us  to  Christ  the  living  way. 
Nor  let  us  from  his  precepts  stray. 

4.  Lead  us  to  God  our  final  rest. 
In  his  enjoyment  to  be  bless'd  ; 
Lead  us  to  heaven  the  seat  of  bliss. 
Where  pleasure  in  perfection  is.

WHILE  fill'd  with  sadness  and  dismay 
To  see  the  work  of  God  decline, 
Methought  I  heard  the  Saviour  say, 
"Dismiss  thy  fear,  the  ark  is  mine. 

2.  "  Though  for  a  time  I  hid  my  face. 
Rely  upon  my  love  and  power; 

Still  wrestle  at  the  throne  of  grace, 
And  wait  for  a  reviving  hour. 

3.  "  Take  down  thy  long-neglected  harp, 
I've  seen  thy  tears,  and  heard  thy  prayer ; 
The  winter  season  has  been  sharp. 

But  spring  shall  all  its  wastes  repair.' 

4.  Lord,  I  obey,  my  hopes  revive  : 
Come,  join  witli  me,  ye  saints,  and  sing; 
Oar  foes  in  vain  against  us  strive. 

For  God  will  help  and  triumph  bring.

OTIIOUtliat  liear'stwhon  sinners  cry, 
Tliougli  all  my  crimes  before  thee  lie, 
ISchdld  them  not  with  angry  look, 
But  blot  their  memory  from  tliy  book. 

2.  Create  my  nature  pure  within, 
And  form  my  soul  averse  to  sin : 
Let  tliy  gooil  Sjiirit  ne'er  depart, 
Nor  hide  tliy  presence  from  my  heart.

Cast  out  iind  banisli'd  from  (liy  sight; 
Thine  holy  joys,  my  Ood,  restore. 
And  guard  me,  (hat  1  fall  no  more. 


4.  Though  Ihave  grieved  thy  Spirit,  Lord, 
Thy  help  and  comfort  still  afford. 

And  let  a  wretch  come  near  thy  throne. 
To  plead  the  merits  of  thy  Son. 

5.  A  broken  heart,  my  God,  my  King, 
Is  all  the  sacrifice  I  bring; 

The  God  of  grace  will  ne'er  despise 
A  broken  heart  for  sacrifice.

Against  the  Son  of  God's  delight. 
And  friends  betray'd  Him  to  his  foes. 

2.  Before  the  mournful  scene  began, 
He  took  the  l)read,  and  bless'd  and  brake; 
What  love  through  all  his  actions  ran! 
What  wondrous  words  of  grace  He  spake! 

3.  "  This  is  my  body  broke  for  sin  ; 
Receive  and  eat  the  living  food  ;"' 
Then  took  the  cup  and  bless'd  the  wine; 
" 'Tis  the  new  covenant  in  in}'  blood."

In  memory  of  your  dying  Friend;

Till  tliou  return,  and  we  shall  eat 
The  marriage  supper  of  the  Lamb.

LET  everlasting  glories  crown 
Thy  head,  my  Saviour,  and  my  Lord ; 
Thy  hands  have  brought  salvation  down. 
And  writ  the  blessings  in  thy  word. 

2.  In  vain  the  trembling  conscience  seeks 
Some  solid  ground  to  rest  upon : 

With  long  despair  the  spirit  breaks, 
Till  we  apply  to  Christ  alone. 

3.  How  well  thy  blessed  truths  agree  ! 
How  wise  and  holy  thy  commands! 
Thy  promises,  how  firm  they  be ! 

How  firm  our  hope  and  comfort  stands  ! 

4.  Should  all  the  forms  that  men  devise 
Assault  my  faith  with  treacherous  art, 
I'll  call  them  vanity  and  lies, 

And  bind  the  gospel  to  my  heart. 


Sel.  97.  [H.  120. 

HOW  oft  have  sin  and  Satan  strove 
To  rend  my  soul  from  thee,  my  God ! 
But  everlasting  is  thy  love. 
And  Jesus  seals  it  with  his  blood. 

2.  The  oath  and  promise  of  the  Lord 
Join  to  confirm  his  wondrous  grace : 
Eternal  power  performs  the  word. 
And  fills  all  heaven  with  endless  praise. 


3.  Amidst  temptations  sharp  and  long, 
My  soul  to  this  dear  refuge  flies ; 
Hope  is  my  anchor,  firm  and  strong, 
While  tempests  blow  and  billows  rise. 

4.  The  gospel  bears  my  spirit  up  ; 
A  faithful  and  unchanging  God 
Lays  the  foundation  for  my  hope, 
In  oaths,  and  promises,  and  blood. 


SeL  98.  [H.  621. 

WHY  should  we  start  and  fear  to  die  ? 
What  timorous  worms  we  mortals  are ! 
Death  is  the  gate  of  endless  joy, 
And  yet  we  dread  to  enter  there. 

2.  The  pains,  the  groans  and  dying  strife. 
Fright  our  approaching  souls  away  ; 
Still  we  shrink  back  again  to  life. 
Fond  of  our  prison  and  our  clay. 

3.  0  !  if  my  Lord  would  come  and  meet. 
My  soul  would  stretch  her  wings  in  haste, 
Flj  fearless  through  death's  iron  gate. 
Nor  feel  the  terrors  as  she  pass'd. 

4.  Jesus  can  make  a  dying  bed 
Feci  soft  as  downy  pillows  are, 
Wliilo  on  his  breast  I  lean  my  head, 
And  breathe  my  life  out  sweetly  there.

3.  Thy  word  commands  our  flesh  to  dust, 

"Return,  ye  sons  of  men;" 
All  nations  rose  from  earth  at  first,

4.  A  thousand  ages  in  thy  sight 

Are  like  an  evening  gone ; 
Short  as  the  watch  that  ends  the  night 

Before  the  rising  dawn.

Be  thou  our  guard  while  troubles  last, 

And  our  eternal  home.

LONG  have  I  sat  beneath  the  sound 
Of  thy  salvation,  Lord; 
But  still  how  weak  my  faith  is  found, 
And  knowledge  of  thy  word! 

2.  Oft  I  frequent  thy  holy  place. 

And  hear  almost  in  vain  : 
How  small  a  portion  of  thy  grace 
Can  my  false  heart  retain ! 

3.  How  cold  and  feeble  is  my  love  ! 

How  negligent  my  fear ! 
How  low  my  hope  of  joys  above ! 
How  few  affections  there! 

4.  Great  God,  thy  sovereign  power  impart, 

To  give  thy  word  success  ; 
Write  thy  salvation  in  my  heart, 
And  make  me  learn  thy  grace.

Ere  seas  or  stars  were  made ; 
Thou  art  the  ever-living  God, 
Were  all  the  nations  dead. 

3.  Eternity,  with  all  its  years. 

Stands  present  in  thy  view  ; 
To  thee  there's  nothing  old  appears  ; 
Great  God,  there's  nothing  new. 

4.  Our  lives  through  various  scenes  are 

drawn. 
And  vex'd  with  trifling  cares. 
While  thine  eternal  thought  moves  on 
Thine  undisturb'd  atfairs. 

5.  Great  God,  how  infinite  art  thou  ! 

AVhat  worthless  worms  are  we ! 
Let  the  whole  race  of  creatures  bow, 
And  pay  their  praise  to  thee.

OOME,  Holy  Spirit,  heavenly  Dove, 
With  all  thy  quick'ning  jjowers, 
Kindle  a  flame  of  sacred  love 
In  these  cold  hearts  of  ours. 

2.  Look  how  we  grovel  here  below. 
Fond  of  these  trifling  toys : 
Our  souls  can  neither  fly  nor  go. 
To  reach  eternal  joys. 


3.  In  vain  we  tune  our  formal  songs, 

In  vain  we  strive  to  rise ; 
Hosannas  languish  on  our  tongues, 
And  our  devotion  dies. 

4.  Dear  Lord,  and  shall  we  ever  live 

At  this  poor  dying  rate  ; 
Our  love  so  faint,  so  cold  to  thee, 
And  thine  to  us  so  great  ? 

5.  Come,  Holy  Spirit,  heavenly  Dove, 

AVitli  all  thy  quick'ning  powers. 
Come,  shed  abroad  a  Saviour's  love, 
And  that  shall  kindle  ours.

IAVAITED  patient  for  the  Lord, 
He  bow'd  to  hear  my  cry  ; 
He  saw  me  resting  on  his  word, 
And  brought  salvation  nigh. 

2.  He  raised  me  from  a  horrid  pit, 

AVhere  mourning  long  I  lay. 
And  from  my  bonds  released  my  feet — 
Deep  bonds  of  miry  clay. 

3.  Firm  on  a  rock  He  made  me  stand. 

And  taught  my  cheerful  tongue 
To  praise  the  wonders  of  his  hand, 
In  a  new  thankful  song. 

4.  I'll  spread  his  works  of  grace  abroad ; 

The  saints  with  joy  shall  hear. 
And  sinners  learn  to  make  my  God 
Their  only  hope  and  fear.

And  Where's  our  courage  fled  ? 
Has  restless  sin,  and  raging  hell. 
Struck  all  our  comforts  dead  ?

That  form'd  the  cartli  and  sea? 
And  can  an  all-creating  arm 
Grow  weary  or  decay  ?

In  our  Jehovah  dwell ; 
He  gives  the  conquest  to  the  weak. 
And  treads  their  foes  to  hell. 

4.  Mere  mortal  power  shall  fade  and  die, 

And  youthful  vigor  cease  : 
But  we  that  wait  upon  the  Lord, 
Shall  feci  our  strength  increase.

But  I  am  dumb  before  thy  throne. 
Nor  dare  dispute  thy  will. 

2.  Diseases  are  thy  servants.  Lord, 

They  come  at  thy  command ; 

I'll  not  attempt  a  murmuring  word 

Against  thy  chastening  hand. 

3.  Yet  I  may  plead,  with  humble  cries, 

Remove  thy  sharp  rebukes  : 
My  strength  consumes,  ray  spirit  dies. 
Through  thy  repeated  strokes. 

4  Crush'd  as  a  moth  beneath  thy  hand, 
■\Ve  moulder  to  the  dust ; 
Our  feeble  powers  can  ne'er  withstand. 
And  all  our  beauty's  lost.

LIFE  is  a  span,  a  fleeting  hour, 
How  soon  the  vapor  flies ! 
Man  is  a  tender,  transient  flower. 
That  e'en  in  blooming  dies. 

2.  Death  spreads  his  withering,  wintry 

And  beauty  smiles  no  more ;  [arms. 
Ah !    where    are    now    those    rising 
charms, 
Which  pleased  our  eyes  before  ? 

3.  That  once  loved  form,  now  cold  and 

dead. 
Each  mournful  thought  employs : 
AVe  weep,  our  earthly  comforts  fled. 
And  wither'd  all  our  joys. 

4.  Hope  looks  beyond  the  bounds  of  time, 

When  what  we  now  deplore. 

Shall  rise  in  full,  immortal  prime, 

And  bloom  to  fade  no  more. 

5.  Cease,  then,   fond  nature,   cease  thy 

The  Saviour  dwells  on  high :  [tears. 
There  everlasting  spring  appears, 
There  joys  shall  never  die.

In  a  distressing  day.

There's  nothing  like  my  God.

Amid  the  verdant  landscape  flow.

With  gloomy  horrors  overspread. 

My  steadfast  heart  shall  fear  no  ill. 
For  thou,  0  Lord,  art  with  me  still ; 
Thy  friendly  arm  shall  give  me  aid, 
And  guide  me  thro'  the  dreadful  shade. 

4.  Though  in  a  bare  and  rugged  way, 
Through  devious,  lonely  wilds  I  stray, 
Thy  bounty  shall  my  pains  beguile, 
The  barren  wilderness  shall  smile. 
With  svidden  green  and  herbage  crown'd, 
And  streams  shall  murmur  all  around.

WHEN  gathering  clouds  around  I  view. 
And  days  are  dark,  and  friends  are 
On  Him  I  lean,  who,  not  in  vain,      [few, 
Experienced  every  human  pain  ; 
He  sees  my  wants,  allays  my  fears. 
And  counts  and  treasures  up  my  tears. 

2.  If  aught  should  tempt  my  soul  to  stray, 

From  heavenly  virtue's  narrow  way. 

To  fly  the  good  I  would  pursue. 

Or  do  the  sin  I  would  not  do  ; 

Still  He  who  felt  temptation's  power, 

Shall  guard  me  in  that  dangerous  hour. 

5.  And  0 !  when  I  have  safely  pass'd 
Through  every  conflict  but  the  last, 
Still,  still  unchanging,  watch  beside 
My  painful  bed,  for  thou  hast  died  ; 
Then  point  to  realms  of  cloudless  day, 
And  wipe  the  latest  tear  away.

2.  Why  should  I  make  a  man  my  trust  ? 
Princes  must  die  and  turn  to  dust ; 

Vain  is  the  help  of  flesh  and  blood ; 
Their  breath   departs,  their  pomp   and 

power, 
And  thoughts  all  vanish  in  an  hour; 

Nor  can  they  make  their  promise  good. 

3.  Happy  the  man  whose  hopes  rely. 
On  Israel's  God :   He  made  the  sky, 

And  earth,  and  seas,  with  all  their  train : 
His  truth  for  ever  stands  secure ; 
He  saves  th'  oppress'd.  He  feeds  the  poor, 

And  none  shall  find  his  promise  vain. 
6.  I'll  praise  him  while  he  lends  me  breath ; 
And  when  my  voice  is  lost  in  death. 

Praise  shall  employ  my  nobler  jiowers : 
My  days  of  praise  shall  ne'er  be  past, 
AVhile  life,  and  thought,  and  being  last. 

Or  immortality  endures.

Where  can  such  happiness  be  found. 
As  dwells  in  this  much  favor'd  land? 
Here  plenty  reigns ;  here  freedom  sheds 
Her  choicest  blessings  on  our  heads : 
By  God  supported,  still  we  stand. 

3.  These  are  thy  gifts,  almighty  King ; 
From  thee  our  matchless  blessings  spring, 

The  extended  shade,  the  fruitful  skies, 
The  comforts  liberty  bestows, 
The  eternal  joys  the  gospel  shows. 

All  from  thy  boundless  goodness  rise. 

4.  With    grateful   hearts,   with    cheerful

To  God  we  raise  united  songs ; 

His  power  and  mercy  we  proclaim ; 
And  still,  through  every  age,  shall  own

And  triumph  in  his  mighty  name.

In  compassion,  now  descend  ; 

Fill  our  hearts  with  thy  rich  grace; 
Tune  our  lips  to  sing  thy  praise. 

3.  In  thine  own  appointed  way, 
Now  we  seek  thee,  here  we  stay ; 
Lord,  we  know  not  how  to  go, 
Till  a  blessing  thou  bestow. 

4.  Send  some  message  from  thy  word, 
That  may  joy  and  peace  afford  ; 
Let  thy  Spirit  now  impart 

Full  salvation  to  each  heart.

LORD  of  Hosts,  how  lovely  fair. 
E'en  on  earth,  thy  temples  arc; 
Here  thy  waiting  people  see 
Much  of  heaven,  and  much  of  thee. 

2.  From  thy  gracious  presence  flows 
Bliss  that  softens  all  our  woes  ; 
AVhile  thy  Spirit's  holy  fire 
Warms  our  hearts  with  pure  desire. 

3.  Here  we  supplicate  thy  throne, 
Here  thou  makest  thy  glories  known  ; 
Here  we  learn  thy  righteous  ways, 
Taste  thy  love  and  sing  thy  praise. 


Shall    we    seek  thee.  Lord,    in  vain  ? 

4.  Thus  with  sacred  songs  of  joy. 
We  our  happy  lives  employ  ;

LORD,  I  cannot  let  thee  go.

Do  not  turn  away  thy  face. 
Mine's  an  urgent,  pressing  case. 

4.  Once  a  sinner  near  despair, 
Souglit  thy  mercy-scat  by  prayer  ; 
Mercy  heard,  and  set  him  free ; 
Lord,  that  mercy  came  to  nic. 

5.  jMany  days  have  pass'd  since  then, 
IMany  changes  I  have  seen  ; 

Yet  have  been  upheld  till  now ; 
Who  could  hold  me  up  but  thou  ? 

6.  Thou  hast  lielp'd  in  every  need  ; 
This  emboldens  me  to  plead ; 
After  so  much  mercy  past, 
Canst  thou  let  me  sink  at  last  ? 

7.  No,  I  must  maintain  my  hold, 
'Tis  thy  goodness  makes  me  bold ; 
I  can  no  denial  take. 

When  I  plead  for  Jesus'  sake.

Leave,  ah  !  leave  nie  not  alone. 

Still  support  and  comfort  me  ; 
All  my  trust  on  thee  is  stay'd, 

All  my  help  from  thee  I  bi"ing ; 
Cover  my  defenceless  head, 

With  the  shadow  of  thy  wing. 

3.  Thou,  0  Christ,  art  all  I  want ; 

All  in  all  in  thee  I  find ; 
Raise  the  fallen,  cheer  the  faint. 

Heal  the  sick,  and  lead  the  blind: 
Just  and  holy  is  thy  name, 

I  am  all  unrighteousness  ; 
Vile  and  full  of  sin  I  am, 

Thou  art  full  of  truth  and  grace. 

4.  Plenteous  grace  with  thee  is  found, 

Grace  to  pardon  all  my  sin ; 
Let  the  healing  streams  abound. 

Make  and  keep  me  pure  within. 
Thou  of  life  the  fountain  art, 

Freely  let  me  take  of  thee : 
Spring  thou  up  within  my  heart, 

Rise  to  all  eternity.

And  gold  and  incense  bring ;

To  witness  God's  eternal  love ;

From  God's  eternal  throne.

ALAS!    how    changed    that    lovely 
flower, 
AVliich  bloom'd  and  cheer'd  my  heart ; 
Fair,  fleeting  comfort  of  an  hour. 
How  soon  we're  call'd  to  part. 

2.  And  shall  my  bleeding  heart  arraign 

That  God,  whose  ways  are  love? 
Or  vainly  cherish  anxious  pain 
For  her  who  rests  above  ? 

3.  No  ! — let  me  rather  humbly  pay 

Obedience  to  his  will, 
And  with  my  inmost  spirit  say, 
"  The  Lord  is  righteous  still." 


4.  From    adverse    blasts,    and   lowering 

Jler  favor'd  soul  He  bore  ;    [storms, 
And  with  yon  bright,  angelic  forms,  . 
She  lives,  to  die  no  more. 

5.  AVliy  should  I  vex  my  heart,  or  fast  ? 

No  more  she'll  visit  me ; 
My  soul  will  mount  to  her  at  last, 
And  there  my  child  I'll  see. 

G.  Prepare  me,  blessed  Lord,  to  share 
The  bliss  thy  people  iDrove ; 
AA'ho  round  thy  glorious  throne  appear, 
And  dwell  in  perfect  love.

OFOR  an  overcoming  faith 
To  cheer  my  dying  hours, 
To  triumph  o'er  the  monster,  Death, 
And  all  his  frightful  powers  ! 

2.  Joyful  with  all  the  strength  I  have, 

My  quivering  lips  should  sing, 
'Where  is  tliy  boasted  victory,  grave, 
And  where  the  monster's  sting?" 

3.  If  sin  be  pardon'd,  I'm  secure  ; 

Death  has  no  sting  beside  ; 
The  law  gives  sin  its  damning  power; 
But  Christ,  my  ransom,  died. 

4.  Now  to  the  God  of  victory 

Immortal  thanks  be  paid, 
Who  makes  us  conquerors  while  we  die. 
Through  Christ  our  living  head.

Rest,  p.  28. 


ASLEEP  in  Jesus  !  blessed  sleep  ! 
From  which  none  ever  wakes  to  weep; 
A  calm  and  undisturb'd  repose, 
Unbroken  by  the  last  of  foes. 

2.  Asleep  in  Jesus !  0  how  sweet 
To  be  for  such  a  slumber  meet  ! 
With  holy  confidence  to  sing 

That  death  hath  lost  its  venom'd  sting  ! 

3.  Asleep  in  Jesus  !  peaceful  rest ! 
Whose  waking  is  supremely  blest ; 
No  fear — no  woe,  shall  dim  that  liour 
That  manifests  the  Saviour's  power. 

4.  Asleep  in  Jesus !   0  for  me 
May  such  a  blissful  refuge  be : 
Securely  shall  my  ashes  lie, 

And  wait  the  summons  from  on  high. 


5.  Asleep  in  .Jesus !  time  nor  space 
Debars  this  precious  "hiding-place:" 
On  Indian  ])lains,  or  Lapland  snows, 
Believers  find  the  same  repose. 

r..  Asleep  in  Jes\is  !  far  from  thoo 
Tliy  kindred  and  their  graves  may  be: 
But  there  is  still  a  blessed  slcci), 
From  whicii  none  ever  wakes  to  weep.

TARRY  with  me,  0  my  Saviour! 
For  the  day  is  passing  by; 
See !  the  shades  of  evening  gather, 
And  the  night  is  drawing  nigh. 

2.  Deeper,  deeper  grow  the  shadows, 

Paler  now  the  glowing  Avest, 
Swift  tlie  night  of  dcatli  advances; 
Shall  it  be  the  night  of  rest? 

3.  Feeble,  trembling,  fainting,  dj'ing, 

Lord,  I  cast  myself  on  thee  ; 
Tarry  with  me  tlirough  the  darkness  ; 
While  I  sleep,  still  watch  by  me. 

4.  Tarry  with  me,  0  my  Saviour !

Till  the  morning  ;  then  awake  me — 
Morning  of  eternal  rest !

TO  Jesus,  the  crown  of  my  hope. 
My  soul  is  in  haste  to  be  gone  ; 
Oh,  bear  me,  ye  cherubim,  up, 
And  waft  me  away  to  his  throne. 

2.  My  Saviour,  whom  absent  I  love  ; 

Wliom,  not  having  seen,  I  adore  ; 
Whose  name  is  exalted  above 

All  glory,  dominion,  and  power ; — 

3.  Dissolve  thou  these  bands  that  detain 

My  soul  from  her  portion  in  tliee, 
Ah  !  strike  off  this  adamant  chain, 
And  make  me  eternally  free. 

4.  When  tliat  happy  era  begins, 

When  array 'd  in  tliy  glories  I  shine. 
Nor  grieve  any  more,  by  my  sins. 
The  bosom  on  whicli  I  recline, — 

5.  Oh,  then  shall  tlie  vail  be  removed! 

And   round   me    thy  brightness  be 
pour'd  ; 
I  shall  meet  II im  wliom  absent  Iloved, 
I  shall  see  whom  unseen  I  adored. 

C>.  And  then,  never  more  shall  tlie  fears, 
Tlie  trials,  temptations,  and  woes, 
Wliieli  darken  tliis  valley  of  tears. 
Intrude  on  my  blissful  repose.
